Preparing the Batter

Preparing the Fish
- Cut the cod into equal sized portions, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Dust both sides of the fish pieces with cornstarch and shake off excess cornstarch.
- Dip the fish in the batter and fry in 350-degree oil until the fish is cooked through and the batter is golden. This typically takes 3-5 minutes.
